Guiding Everyone in Cultivation, Known as Little Hongjun

Laozi took a deep breath, and only then did his expression return to calm.

He bowed to Hong Yun. "This poor Daoist thanks Fellow Daoist for your guidance!"

Hong Yun did not avoid the bow. He felt he deserved it. Just that one sentence was enough to save Laozi ten thousand years of arduous cultivation.

As the saying went, "A true transmission can be summed up in one sentence, while a family inheritance may fill ten thousand volumes!"

"See? He even has to thank us!"

Hong Yun fleeced Laozi for some benefits, then offered him guidance.

Once Laozi's cultivation realm improved, the quality of the wool would improve as well. Hong Yun would fleece him again, then offer guidance again...

What was this called?

A virtuous cycle!

It could also be called the path of sustainable development.

When it came to teaching, aside from Hongjun, Hong Yun was undoubtedly the best in the Primordial Wilderness!

"Fellow Daoist, you're too polite. Please rise quickly. This discussion of the Dao was originally meant for us to gain insights from one another. How could this poor Daoist possibly deserve such a grand courtesy from you?"

Only after Laozi finished bowing did Hong Yun put on an affected show of helping him up.

It was only because the customs of the Primordial Wilderness were still simple and honest. In later generations, he would probably be cursed as a "green tea"!

"Fellow Daoist Laozi has finished speaking. I wonder which fellow Daoist would be willing to share the Great Dao with us?"

The moment Hong Yun finished speaking, Tai Yi, Fuxi, and Tongtian all began itching to speak.

"Everyone, please excuse me. Let this poor Daoist go first."

How could Yuanshi sit still any longer? He could accept being suppressed by Hong Yun and Laozi.

But if someone else spoke before him, wouldn't that make Yuanshi lose face?

"This poor Daoist's Dao lies in following Heaven's will and taking the Heavenly Dao as the standard..."

Before everyone could react, Yuanshi launched into an animated explanation. Those who had failed to seize the opportunity could not help curling their lips.

However, everyone soon became immersed in Yuanshi's Dao.

While observing everyone's expressions, Hong Yun continued to fleece them for benefits.

When he saw Tongtian's expression, he could not help finding it amusing.

Tongtian's brows were tightly furrowed. He bit his lip as he listened, occasionally clenching his fists, as though he had some objection to Yuanshi's Dao.

Having obtained both of their comprehension fragments, Hong Yun naturally understood the reason.

Tongtian did not merely have an objection. He was completely opposed to it.

No wonder these two brothers, both transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, could not get along.

Their Great Daos were fundamentally diametrically opposed, planting the seeds of disaster for the later Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.

After Yuanshi finished speaking, he immediately let out a sigh of relief, as though he had completed a task.

He hurriedly asked Hong Yun, "I wonder what insights Fellow Daoist Hong Yun has?"

"Holy crap, he's already started displaying subjective initiative. This kid Yuanshi has a bright future!"

Hong Yun had originally intended to listen to everyone's insights before offering him some guidance.

Who could have expected Yuanshi to start asking questions so anxiously? Who exactly was whose Golden Finger?

Hong Yun complained inwardly, while outwardly stroking his chin with a thoughtful expression.

Yuanshi gritted his teeth, his face flushing red as he said again, "Fellow Daoist Hong Yun, please do not hesitate to enlighten me!"

Tongtian stared at Yuanshi in shock, as though saying, So this is what you're like, Second Brother!

Yuanshi: You don't know anything!

Didn't you see how humble Elder Brother was? He clearly obtained plenty of benefits. When have you ever seen Elder Brother show someone such grand courtesy?

I, Yuanshi, want to improve too!

Sure enough, the face that Yuanshi valued most was nothing before benefits.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, if this poor Daoist has guessed correctly, your Dao lies in the character 'elucidate.' In the future, you should focus on elucidating the Heavenly Dao..."

After listening to Hong Yun's explanation, Yuanshi pondered thoughtfully. He then bowed deeply, just like Laozi had.

"Next, it's my turn! My Dao lies in..."

Tongtian was just about to speak when a sudden voice left him utterly dumbfounded.

He had thought he would be next. After all, the Three Pure Ones were originally one entity.

After Elder Brother and Second Brother finished speaking, shouldn't it have been this poor Daoist's turn?

Fellow Daoist Hong Yun had not even spoken yet. Which bastard had interrupted?

Well, the one who intercepted Tongtian was not the domineering Tai Yi, but Di Jun.

Despite his friendly appearance, the fact that he would become the Heavenly Emperor of the later Demon Court, which ruled over the masses of the Yao Race, showed that he was no worse than anyone else in either schemes or methods.

He was no less shameless, either.

After Di Jun finished speaking, Hong Yun deliberated for a while before saying, "Fellow Daoist Di Jun, based on what you have said, this poor Daoist will give you four words today: 'inner sage, outer king.' I hope you can gain something from them in the future."

"Inner sage, outer king?"

Confusion appeared on Di Jun's face. He found it somewhat difficult to understand. After all, he was not yet the Heavenly Emperor who ruled over the myriad heavens.

Even so, he still gave Hong Yun an identical grand bow.

"My Dao lies in the sun. The sun shines over the nine heavens, radiating endless light..."

Tongtian, who had intended to imitate Di Jun, was completely stunned!

Intercepted!

He had been intercepted again and again!

Before Di Jun began speaking, he had at least exchanged some pleasantries. But Tai Yi, you didn't even bother pretending, did you?

Tongtian snorted coldly. Having no other choice, he could only suppress his indignation and listen carefully.

Tai Yi's words were concise, so he finished explaining his Dao faster than the others.

He looked provocatively at Hong Yun, his haughty expression seeming to say that no one understood the sun better than he did.

Hong Yun smiled awkwardly when he saw this.

"Good! Good! Good! This poor Daoist loves dealing with people who think they are exceptionally capable!"

Hong Yun did not even bother pretending anymore. Without hesitation, he said, "Fellow Daoist Tai Yi's Dao can be called the 'Way of the Great Sun.' The radiant sun should naturally hang high in the sky, surrounded by the myriad stars, standing above all creation!"

Tai Yi gave a disdainful smile upon hearing this.

Hong Yun's explanation had merely summarized what he had said earlier. It was nothing more than repeating another person's words!

Unexpectedly, Hong Yun's next words caused his expression to change dramatically.

Hong Yun continued, "However, the Way of the Great Sun is not merely about domineering over all and standing above all living beings. The great sun also bears the responsibility of blessing all creation. It should bring light to all living beings and bring hope to all living beings..."

Hong Yun's words were like the tolling of a great bell, pointing Tai Yi toward a broad and magnificent path.

The more Tai Yi listened, the more entranced he became.

The aura around him shifted ceaselessly. The domineering intent ingrained in his bones began to withdraw from the outside inward.

A day later, it had been replaced by an entirely new, gentle and peaceful air.

"Fellow Daoist, your insight is profound. Tai Yi has been enlightened!"

Tai Yi bowed. He was thoroughly convinced, even more so than Laozi and the others.

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that he had gained tremendously. Tai Yi's domineering nature had not disappeared; it had merely been concealed within his gentleness and peace.

It was like how being sharp and conspicuous was not frightening. What was frightening was concealing one's sharpness.

"It's this poor Daoist's turn. This poor Daoist's Dao lies in obtaining a sliver of vitality for all living beings, fighting for a trace of change for all creation, and using his own Dao to seize the transformations of the Heavenly Dao..."

As Tongtian explained his Great Dao, he saw that he had spoken first and could not help raising his brows smugly in the direction of Nuwa and Fuxi.

"Hmph. As long as this poor Daoist is fast enough, no one can intercept me!"

He had no idea that Fuxi and Nuwa were looking at him as though he were an idiot.

"Elder Brother, what's wrong with this person? Is he sick?"

"I can't understand him either. Just listen to his Dao, Younger Sister. You absolutely must not imitate him. It would be terrible if you damaged your mind like he did!"

"Of course. Younger Sister isn't stupid!"

Fuxi and Nuwa transmitted their voices to each other as siblings. Only Hong Yun, who had reached the realm of a Primordial Golden Immortal, could hear them, and he could not help looking at Tongtian with a strange expression.

Yuanshi's expression grew darker and darker as he listened.

If no one else had been present, he would have scolded this bastard for violating the Dao of his Elder Brother!

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian's Dao lies in the character 'intercept.' It is to intercept a sliver of vitality from the Heavenly Dao for all living beings. There should be Teaching without discrimination..."

Hong Yun spoke eloquently and substantively, giving Tongtian a deeper understanding of his own Great Dao.

Afterward, it was Fuxi and Nuwa's turn, and Hong Yun offered guidance to both of them as well.

In the blink of an eye, thirty thousand years passed.

When the discussion of the Dao came to a halt, everyone finally realized how terrifying Hong Yun was!

Aside from his own Way of Clouds, he had studied everyone else's Dao as well, and his understanding of them was even deeper than theirs.

In a daze, everyone seemed to see that mysterious and awe-inspiring figure in the Purple Cloud Palace!

If Hong Yun knew this, he would certainly be smug.

That's right, this poor Daoist Hong Yun is known as "Little Hongjun"!
